Oops, yes, sorry.

ZTuple's been undergoing changes to support a revamped ZTupleBase. In 
doing so I rationalized some method names, leaving the old ones 
available if ZCONFIG_Tuple_EnableDeprecated is defined as 1, which it 
is in ZTuple.h. However the default zconfig.h file defines it to zero, 
and for the code I've been working on that hasn't been a problem, 
although I did fix most of the files that would be affected but hadn't 
checked them in. I just finished updating the remaining files and have 
checked them in. Do please let me know if I missed anything.

For the moment the best course is probably to send any patches to me 
and I can merge them.

For most of the last year I've been concentrating on server-type apps 
which don't use UI features, and so those aspects of ZooLib have been 
more or less on hold. I'm hoping that will change soon -- I've got some 
code I want to write for my home's automation system that will need 
some interesting UI and I want it to work well on MacOS X.

A+
